Hi Dr. Karam, I came across an article about a procedure called Endolift. I had never heard of it before, I have not heard you mention it on any of your videos, and i would like to know your opinion about it, please. Thank you
I absolutely love what you do but Unfortunately, For most a facelift with a reputable surgeon is just not obtainable. Anyway, it is possible to delay aging and reverse a LOT just through Microneedling. No procedure that I have done in my life was as helpful as the high-quality derma pen I got for around 200$.
Yeah sure, during the years I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging as much as possible, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. I swear, Nothing made any real difference compared to microneedling. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 20's again, but definitely not 48 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin
I am so glad to hear that we are no longer adopting the puffy face, strange looking and unnatural looking beauty trend. Fillers can be so unnatural looking. I want to stay as young and naturally beautiful as I can. I love your channel. Thank you!
I think , it's the case of things go down further before they pick up. So the round puffy, ducky, weird puppet looks have led people as future patients to reconsider effects and outcomes of those 'quick fix' techniques since 2000. The last two years have led to plastic surgeons and to discuss with actual examples of their own work on patients and those of celebrities of what are successful and natural cosmetics procedure and what and why some were not natural, botched or failed. And it opened up conversations about what , and when is right and how much rejuvenation is enough. And here we are ushering 2025 with more balanced and recalibrated perspectives and expectations. Thank you all! Doctors, patients and everyone else sharing! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
For those of us in the small income category, there is absolutely no budget for these useless procedures of vanity. I settle for a nice cut of red meat from my local farmers market, that I cook up myself! You women with disposable income have too many temptations. Learn from us poor girls and smile more.
I agree with you. Natural and simple. I wish the Chanels such as this would explain the cost in round about figures. Girls in their 40-60s are still raising kids, illegal help. Etc. who’s got the extra money for these procedures. May if you are a CEO or own your own company but what about us retired women also. A couple thousand would be doable but 10-20 $ that’s some else. Hollywood can afford it but not us. Maybe the medical insurance would start a new policy for this area (hahaha). Well ladies, stay healthy and accept the lines, it’s called life and getting older.
Then I would guess French people do not go so much to Turkey to have surgeries? Long time ago I came to PAris to meet Dr Patrick Bui for a consultation for rhinoplasty but chose a surgeon in USA. Cheers from Finland
Agreed. It was so nice going there a few years ago where there were no "blow-up" looking dolls walking around unless they were tourists( me not included,I hope, lol) , but instead natural-looking beauty with classic styles instead of fads...
I am a woman of a certain age ( 62) . I have never had surgery, I take no meds, I only need glasses to drive. I exercise regularly etc… all this to say I feel very young….young until I look in a mirror. Too many years of sun exposure and not always a great diet. So, you are correct , for me there is a huge disconnect between how I feel and how I look. Unfortunately, in this day and age most treatments and even some skincare is way too expensive for regular people like me. I do what I can….always hoping that one day I will be able to narrow the feelings/ look gap. Thank you for always being honest and informative. Happy New Year 🥳
I'm in. Same situation in search of a solution without paying 30k or more for a face lift. I look into morpheus 8 and now I'm hesitant due to information I've seen on you tube
Joan Rivers once wrote , we buy cars all the time, which would you rather see, an old face in a new car or a new face in an old car? I invested in a facelift after researching for almost a decade. It was both undetected by most of my friends and life changing. I love it and suddenly felt seen again. It’s not for everyone, but it made me happy.
Well let's hope things keep moving in the direction you talk about on this video Dr.Amir Karam! One thing that seems sad to me is that economics play a big part here and sadly many people end up with odd faces because that is what they can afford or did not have the patience to wait to build up the funds. Thank you for all the knowledge you share on this channel of yours, much Health to you and Team for 2025!

I tell my friends, that I’m thankful to live in a time where these wonderful cosmetic treatments are available to me as a women in her 40’s What a blessing they have been
Excellent video. I enjoy your educational talks. Consistently informative and very interesting. I started watching your talks for over a year now. Finally, a surgeon who has developed a surgery that addresses the signs of aging and the results are stunning.
You were the pioneer doc, now we've seen these celebrities rejuvenated, but youve been doing this kind of beautiful jobs before anyone else. Thank you for your informative service and for your creative work. 🙏🏻
Thank you for caring enough to explain what’s happening.. The industry seems to be getting smarter and better ♥️I’m so over that cartoon look of puffy and fake… What a relief 😅 These last 2 decades have been terrible.. destroying the beauty of the natural human face. I’ve seen so much bad work it scares me. I’m so pleased to hear things will be more natural.. Done is OUT ✔️💰
Truth is people treat you differently if you look older… I told my mom to get a face lift so she could work longer… we’re treated old when we look old… it’s shameful but true!
Agree for the most part, d.marie. Humans strive to keep that youthful look because we were never meant to age from creation. We live the blush of youth. Rightfully so, imo. Youth is awesome. But, yep, society generally treats a youthful or beautiful or handsome person better. But having a youthful attitude is also a winner. Act old and you'll likely be treated as old.
@@coastdaze748 the older I get the more I love my brain and wisdom…its made me stronger and when I look back I realize how stupid and foolish I was… glad I'm not that person any longer… sometimes having a youthful attitude requires pretending you are stupid…
@@d.mariecampbell7443 Ah yes, I love the wisdom that comes with age/experience. My mother had a very youthful attitude and I inherited that attitude and I never, ever pretend to be stupid. I mean what is better than a youthful attitude with wisdom? 😄
100 percent. I am the beauty industry and see so many fake looking procedures on my clients. I have had the minimum of filler and botox. I am currently stopping the fillers due to exactly what you are talking about was not looking natural as I wish too. I have a wonderful MD that does my botox and filler and she is on the same page with her patients. Now saving the cash for my facial rejuvenation planning ahead. I have been following you for years and your approach to aging and beauty is aligned. Thank you
I am so happy that better solutions for lift face are showing. I hope that Doctors in Brazil learn this method, and do it in the better way possible 🙏🏻 ps: Congratulation for the work, video, the ladies look stunning ❤
Thank you for the video. I always find your advice and opinions so honest, well informed and beautifully articulated. It really does build trust. I am glad you addressed the emotional aspects of facial rejuvenation as those are rarely addressed. Obviously celebrities are under enormous pressure, but receive outstanding compensation. For normal women like me, the stakes might be a bit different. In my 20's I felt unattractive because of suffering trauma in my youth and had a hard time with self esteem. I was very self-critical. Now in my 60's I finally like myself and would like to enjoy my looks, which were never bad! Happily I always took care of my skin and wore sunscreen! I hope to be able to gift myself a restorative procedure in the future, so I am glad to learn a lot on your channels on what to look for and how to research! I love your work and thanks!
I totally agree with you! You are the only plastic surgeon. I look up all the time ❤ if I was in the market to have a vertical restore,I would definitely come & see you
Thank you for being here and educating us so we don’t bitch ourselves from all the muck information we get access to! Super appreciate the intention you bring here ❤
Dr. Karam is obviously a fantastic surgeon. But there are plenty of great ones around! Not all charge super high prices. I had a lower facelift 8 years ago and a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty and CO2 laser treatment this year by the same surgeon. Super happy with my results!
I've never had issues with plastic surgery. I have always believed it should have you coming out looking natural and youthful. These latest trends unfortunately have ruined many young faces. I feel bad for those 20-year-olds who decided to put so much filler in places it had no business being in.
Your videos are very enlightening and I am so grateful that you take the time to educate us. A good friend, Ben Fuchs chemist and owns a skincare line started me on my journey to skincare 25 years ago but you are enhancing on that journey. Saving up to visit you soon.
It's ridiculous to tell people that in 2025 and beyond the only real options for anti aging is $100,000 face lifts, which at the end of the day, are still barbaric, painful procedures that require a lot of healing and can only be done once or twice in a life time, at most. They create a lot of scar tissue and trauma. Facelifts are not good for the skin (I have talked to many experienced healers and aestheticians about this). In the near future, we will have anti-aging technologies, skincare, and health rejuvenations that will reverse aging without cutting and eliminate disease. Hospitals will be a thing of the past, along with Big-Pharma. If we can clone, have AI, and make flying cars, we can move beyond face lifts! Botox is also a poison. It looks ugly and is horrible for the skin muscles. Muscles should not be frozen. It causes atrophy. I agree that skincare and skin health is most important. When I see women, especially in Europe, with beautiful skin and true style, they look beautiful no matter their age, and regardless of lines and some laxity. We have really lost the plot when it comes to understanding what makes someone beautiful. It isn't looking like a cloned version of yourself or having a face that doesn't move or show life.
@@ChristinaChristina-i2v We will. They're already testing them and they work and have for a long time. Look into the 6000 patents that the NSA has been hiding for decades. We already have the cure and technology for everything, including free energy (Tesla). Our skin and body is energy too. Everything can be healed.
Finally! My mother had an old school facelift done in 1985, at the age of 53, by an excellent surgeon in Fresno, CA. Her results were outstanding. When I decide to pull the trigger on a facelift (God willing my 401k can take the strain) I'll find a surgeon who, like you, understands the lost art of the natural, artistic facelift. My upper and lower bleph, done ten years ago, was the best 'beauty' money I ever spent. It was done by a doctor in Santa Barbara, CA, who also taught cosmetic surgery methods at UCLA.
@ It was $6500, and included fraxel laser on my face. Of course, this was years ago and I imagine that the cost has jumped. If you have medical insurance you may be able to have the upper bleph covered if you've lost significant peripheral vision. I think I have a playlist on my channel documenting my surgery, including a video of me before, as I ponder whether or not to have it done. Good luck!
Great info! Thanks for the video. I love how you added people should only have the issues that bother them addressed and you don’t believe signs of aging always have to be addressed. It’s about doing what makes you happy and comfortable. Basically, it felt like you were saying it’s ok to age, but you’re there to help if they want to make a change. In addition to offering a best and safest practices approach. Your videos have been very enlightening and helpful. :)
Fantastic video & this is what we need more of though I wud be happier if women understood their nutrition needs better with age & how menopause affects the overall well being. Working out is also so important & most important is mental well-being.
Your videos are informative and educational Dr. Karam. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us so we can make an informed decision when the time comes. Thank you so much. May the new year be full of love, peace, and happiness for you, and your family.
Thank you ! I love your expert advice and your approach to providing the masses with credible evidence to your approach in rejuvenating aging!! Thank you
I admire all your advice and agree with all you say. However as your results are amazing and consistent I feel despondent knowing I cannot afford to see you and I have zero faith in other surgeons.
Do you really need a face lift? Get 8 hours of sleep each night, drink lots of water, use food skin care products and don't forget the sun screen. Save your money for retirement and the grand kids if you have them. Enjoy life!
I am with you on your quest. And the surgeons in Australia don't specialise in just faces. They concentrate on breasts. I noticed Lindsey Lohan recently and thought how fabulous she looked after some of the earlier disasters. Dr Karam is really the only surgeon that has wonderful before and after photos. People say "just grow old gracefully" but I work in a very ageist company - in education (!) and the faculty and staff only see the surface value, putting no emphasis on character, intellect, life experience or ability. It is very disheartening.
@@xoKEELIEox...you can help your skin and face look better with changes in diet... for example: stop alcohol, coffee, dairy, sugar eat only 2x daily and not before 11:30 /12 midday stop eating 4hours or more before bed go to sleep 2hours before midnight face yoga eat less processed foods face yoga/massage with specific oils like nuroli, frankinsence, grapeseed or rosehip over a few weeks you will see definate changes
I won't tell you not to feel despondent because you can't afford to see a doctor you can't afford. Despondent is a big emotion and it could be that it's not the best idea for you to have major cosmetic surgery. It may be more than the outside that needs to be done. Spending thousands of $$ for cosmetic surgery may not be the answer for you. Just saying...
This great for the people who can afford it. I'm a teacher and will never be able to afford your expertise and mastery. I wish I could. You are truly a master at what you do. Only a dream for me...
Hi Margie, I completely understand that surgery is a significant investment and not the right choice for everyone. That’s why I’m proud to offer a solution like the KaramMD Trifecta, which is a more approachable starting place for achieving healthy, radiant skin. It provides comprehensive skincare that targets the key elements of skin aging-repair, rejuvenation, and protection. It’s an effective way to enhance your skin’s appearance and health without the commitment of surgery. Many of our customers find it to be a great option to see meaningful results and build confidence in their skin
Love your content! All of it makes so much sense. So glad I found your channel. I’m listening to your advice and focusing on skincare more vs. fillers etc….
Thank God for the new direction. I'll be 66 next month and have found castor oil and red led to be helpful. Most people think I'm about 55 and have never had work or botox. Skincare is essential for youthful appearance.
Thank you for everything you share. Gives me hope that even on my budget, there are things I can do to slow aging. My partner is younger than me, and it weighs on me.
Yes please open a door for us that are single, divorced women over 60 that live in the average world have access to these amazing procedures as well. Both health and cosmetic modalities.
Thank you so much for all your information. Hopefully the surgeries can be affordable for everyone and someone doesn’t have to do procedures because they are cheaper and getting a quick fix.
I am so glad that all the celebrities have messed up so bad that we are rejecting this scary path and changing the approaches. At my gym, all the big lipped and injected girls are making me stand out more. Now, I thank them for making me look good. 🤷🏻♀️ Big Face is the most unattractive.

I have the same *eudupe* Bastia and Kelly pockets as you do, and I agree that the buttons on the Kelly pockets are too noticeable. I like the Bastia and Calvi because they are flatter and not "crowded"!
I could listen to you all day everyday! I certainly trust what you are recommending as in educating myself on as much TRUE information as possible. I would love for you to carry out my surgery, however I am here in beautiful New Zealand many miles from you and your clinic. My question, if I may........Can you recommend a surgeon or do you know of a surgeon with the same thoughts as yourself? Keep up the wonderful work you do.
What lasers do you go with? So many options, and i don't know which are which. Co2, BBL, Forever young, halo, etc. The med spas and plastic surgery place both sell different ones at different prices and I don't know which one is best, without too much pain 😅
@ I’ve done the CO2 RF x2 IPL several times over the years Laser Genesis , trilift x 3. I found the microneedling RF works really good. I’m trying the Helix laser in a few months. It’s supposed to to be really good for texture discoloration and tightening ..
@@kimking4224my understanding is that the radio frequency has now been found to put heat under the skin which depletes collagen in the long term, so adding the RF may over time be counter productive to the action of the microneedling. I’ve listened to a couple of dermatologists recently saying to be careful when it comes to putting intense heat into the skin.
I have had rhinoplasty for a terrible “ hump” on my nose, I thought. But I found out after the surgery no one seemed to even notice. My daughter had the same type of nose and didn’t like it and chose to have rhinoplasty and I made sure she remembered that you do that surgery for YOU only. I was so disappointed when my rhinoplasty didn’t turn me into the most attractive person ever!( that’s an exaggeration, but just proving a point )
Hey Doc, can you do a vid on preventative treatment for Black skin or multi cultural skin? From the correct lasers to prevent wrinkles/sagging, topicals etc...Thank you!
When patients can't afford getting fillers or procedures with more expensive surgeon, they get it done with someone who they can afford and it doesn't always come out right.
Wow, your work is amazing, your patients still LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES, only Well Rested, Refreshed, like they were on a long vacation in the Swiss Alps! They have a Glow in their Eyes.
I absolutely love what you do, how you say you go about the aging process. Unfortunately this is not affordable. For most a facelift with a reputable surgeon is just not obtainable. Lets face it loans are not the answer. Financing is limited, with limited payback time. If you cannot afford this procedure one should not put themselves into debt. Therefore, it is my belief that many the cheaper alternatives (facial fillers...)
While surgery may not be an option for everyone, maintaining a consistent, comprehensive, and effective skincare routine is something anyone can do. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, this approach can go a long way in supporting your skin’s health and appearance.
I’m sorry, but Gwen Stefani shouldnt be used as an example of good work done because she looks extremely alien and overdone. The others ladies however, fantastic work done!!! They literally looked like they slept well and paused their clock from 15 years ago.
I wish you would have mentioned PRP and Microneedling as treatments that are here to stay as well, boosting the collagen production! And of course more awareness of the importance of sunscreen and good nutrition!
I have done so many video on that. Not prp per se but microneedling.. it’s a nice procedure and totally harmless. I am definitely a fan. It isn’t a replacement for solid daily skincare and sunscreen but a nice addition.
I’m consistent with skin care routine and recently integrated LED mask, microneedling, and RF at home beauty device. I would certainly see you if I could have it in my budget. You do beautiful work.
I agree. She was so pretty and now looks like some Barbie doll and fake as hell. She is as close to 60 as she is 50 and looks like a doll, I agree. People says she looks amazing. She looks like someone else. So weird. Makes me think she has some mental issues!
When will we finally see a gel that contains verteporfin? It could help to avoid scars during the healing process. It would revolutionize your trade. It's beyond me why a discovery that was made more than 5 years ago still hasn't resulted in a product that surgeons can use.
Thank you Dr. Karam . Been so open about all products and differences in collegian and good collegians . I go to Korea two to three times a year. And I’m so ready at my age to work on ny skin , volume and shape as you spoke of . I have always tried to take care of my skin since my teens , I learned alot from my grandmother ect . Who had beautiful skin til the day she went to heaven . However under the knife I have not yet but I have done the Botox but with t my age I see shape of my face is now changing I’m aging and my eyes by brows sagging . My chin has wrinkles , I have flown for the airlines almost 40 years and I wonder what is the best way to help chin , neck , eyes but I am not into the thread those I know who have done this in the USA or in Korea it looks so painful the day after and they go back over and over every 5 months and I don’t want to do that . I am consistent in good health care for my skin & I do love products from Korea but still I know I need to do this revival you do . I had ultra therapy in Spain two years ago but it was painful , I don’t wanna keep doing procedures every 6 months . I have never done strings and never will . Thank you for educating me on skin ,and reality of what is needed bc I only wanna look natural not like a mannikin in photos or in person . Ty✨💫
Hmmm I am very interested in these procedures, but I can only (possibly) afford this once- I’m 43 and just recently am seeing that I am truly aging! 🙈 Ive always looked so young and never had any procedures of any type done. But the volume loss is so crazy… my face feels like it’s someone else’s FROM the aging; I love the idea of looking like myself again🥰

@@d.mariecampbell7443 Ah yes, I love the wisdom that comes with age/experience. My mother had a very youthful attitude and I inherited that attitude and I never, ever pretend to be stupid. I mean what is better than a youthful attitude with wisdom? 😄
100 percent. I am the beauty industry and see so many fake looking procedures on my clients. I have had the minimum of filler and botox. I am currently stopping the fillers due to exactly what you are talking about was not looking natural as I wish too. I have a wonderful MD that does my botox and filler and she is on the same page with her patients. Now saving the cash for my facial rejuvenation planning ahead. I have been following you for years and your approach to aging and beauty is aligned. Thank you
Yes
Thank you , I have followed your advice from Canary Islands . I wish you an incredible and happy 2025.
Wonderful! Happy 2025
I am so happy that better solutions for lift face are showing. I hope that Doctors in Brazil learn this method, and do it in the better way possible 🙏🏻 ps: Congratulation for the work, video, the ladies look stunning ❤
Thank you for your videos! Always very well explained 👌🏻
Glad you like them!
Enjoy listening to you Dr Karam, you are most certainly a trusted source. You now need to set up in GB 😊
I am so glad. Thanks for watching
Fran, what's a GB?
@@coastdaze748Great Britain, probably.
@@geewiz8253 Thanks.
Thank you for the video. I always find your advice and opinions so honest, well informed and beautifully articulated. It really does build trust. I am glad you addressed the emotional aspects of facial rejuvenation as those are rarely addressed. Obviously celebrities are under enormous pressure, but receive outstanding compensation. For normal women like me, the stakes might be a bit different. In my 20's I felt unattractive because of suffering trauma in my youth and had a hard time with self esteem. I was very self-critical. Now in my 60's I finally like myself and would like to enjoy my looks, which were never bad! Happily I always took care of my skin and wore sunscreen! I hope to be able to gift myself a restorative procedure in the future, so I am glad to learn a lot on your channels on what to look for and how to research! I love your work and thanks!
I totally agree with you! You are the only plastic surgeon. I look up all the time ❤ if I was in the market to have a vertical restore,I would definitely come & see you
Thank you for watching! I appreciate you.
Thank you for being here and educating us so we don’t bitch ourselves from all the muck information we get access to! Super appreciate the intention you bring here ❤
Thank you, Sarah. I'm glad you find the information I share valuable.
Dr. Karam is obviously a fantastic surgeon. But there are plenty of great ones around! Not all charge super high prices. I had a lower facelift 8 years ago and a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty and CO2 laser treatment this year by the same surgeon. Super happy with my results!
Who is your surgeon? East or West coast
Please share his name...thanks.
This sounds really good! Taking notes 😊❤
Such a powerful message! Thank you, dr Amir. I am so happy that I found you channel!
I am glad you found my channel as well! Thanks for watching.
I've never had issues with plastic surgery. I have always believed it should have you coming out looking natural and youthful. These latest trends unfortunately have ruined many young faces. I feel bad for those 20-year-olds who decided to put so much filler in places it had no business being in.
Very true
Your videos are very enlightening and I am so grateful that you take the time to educate us. A good friend, Ben Fuchs chemist and owns a skincare line started me on my journey to skincare 25 years ago but you are enhancing on that journey. Saving up to visit you soon.
Thank you for sharing!
It's ridiculous to tell people that in 2025 and beyond the only real options for anti aging is $100,000 face lifts, which at the end of the day, are still barbaric, painful procedures that require a lot of healing and can only be done once or twice in a life time, at most. They create a lot of scar tissue and trauma. Facelifts are not good for the skin (I have talked to many experienced healers and aestheticians about this). In the near future, we will have anti-aging technologies, skincare, and health rejuvenations that will reverse aging without cutting and eliminate disease. Hospitals will be a thing of the past, along with Big-Pharma. If we can clone, have AI, and make flying cars, we can move beyond face lifts! Botox is also a poison. It looks ugly and is horrible for the skin muscles. Muscles should not be frozen. It causes atrophy. I agree that skincare and skin health is most important. When I see women, especially in Europe, with beautiful skin and true style, they look beautiful no matter their age, and regardless of lines and some laxity. We have really lost the plot when it comes to understanding what makes someone beautiful. It isn't looking like a cloned version of yourself or having a face that doesn't move or show life.
We have flying cars?
No facelift, no way. Trauma to the body and anesthesia is NOT good for the brain
Facts! Thank you!
@@ChristinaChristina-i2v We will. They're already testing them and they work and have for a long time. Look into the 6000 patents that the NSA has been hiding for decades. We already have the cure and technology for everything, including free energy (Tesla). Our skin and body is energy too. Everything can be healed.
@@NBportofino Exactly. They act like all these procedures and toxins are no big deal. They are a very big deal.
Finally! My mother had an old school facelift done in 1985, at the age of 53, by an excellent surgeon in Fresno, CA. Her results were outstanding. When I decide to pull the trigger on a facelift (God willing my 401k can take the strain) I'll find a surgeon who, like you, understands the lost art of the natural, artistic facelift. My upper and lower bleph, done ten years ago, was the best 'beauty' money I ever spent. It was done by a doctor in Santa Barbara, CA, who also taught cosmetic surgery methods at UCLA.
How much did you pay for your bleph if you don’t mind me asking, I really need it! Especially upper
@ It was $6500, and included fraxel laser on my face. Of course, this was years ago and I imagine that the cost has jumped. If you have medical insurance you may be able to have the upper bleph covered if you've lost significant peripheral vision. I think I have a playlist on my channel documenting my surgery, including a video of me before, as I ponder whether or not to have it done. Good luck!
Great info! Thanks for the video. I love how you added people should only have the issues that bother them addressed and you don’t believe signs of aging always have to be addressed. It’s about doing what makes you happy and comfortable. Basically, it felt like you were saying it’s ok to age, but you’re there to help if they want to make a change. In addition to offering a best and safest practices approach. Your videos have been very enlightening and helpful. :)
You are a Master of facial rejuvination. You work is outstanding. I love your videos.
Love you so much! Thank you for being so honest with all of us ❤️
Such a useful video … perfect timing… thank you & all the best in 2025
Thanks for watching! Happy 2025
Fantastic video & this is what we need more of though I wud be happier if women understood their nutrition needs better with age & how menopause affects the overall well being. Working out is also so important & most important is mental well-being.
Your videos are informative and educational Dr. Karam. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us so we can make an informed decision when the time comes. Thank you so much. May the new year be full of love, peace, and happiness for you, and your family.
Wishing the same to you. Thanks for watching!
WHO IS THE SURGEON that keeps Susan Sarandon looking the same? He’s fabulous.
Seriously? She looks awful
I agree!
I don't think we've seen the real, unretouched photos of Sarandon.
Yes!!
I appreciate your compassionate, educational and straight to the point approach. Thanks!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for tuning in and for your kind words.
I do 4 vials a month of Sculptra since 2023. I look refreshed and I’ve stopped aging in its tracks. I’m 60, I’ve always looked younger than my years .
Do you mean four vials a year?
Thank you ! I love your expert advice and your approach to providing the masses with credible evidence to your approach in rejuvenating aging!! Thank you
You are very welcome
Great video again; really love your work!
I admire all your advice and agree with all you say. However as your results are amazing and consistent I feel despondent knowing I cannot afford to see you and I have zero faith in other surgeons.
Do you really need a face lift? Get 8 hours of sleep each night, drink lots of water, use food skin care products and don't forget the sun screen. Save your money for retirement and the grand kids if you have them. Enjoy life!
I am with you on your quest. And the surgeons in Australia don't specialise in just faces. They concentrate on breasts. I noticed Lindsey Lohan recently and thought how fabulous she looked after some of the earlier disasters. Dr Karam is really the only surgeon that has wonderful before and after photos. People say "just grow old gracefully" but I work in a very ageist company - in education (!) and the faculty and staff only see the surface value, putting no emphasis on character, intellect, life experience or ability. It is very disheartening.
There are many other ways you can take care of your skin, starting with a great, consistent skincare routine!
@@xoKEELIEox...you can help your skin and face look better with changes in diet...
for example: stop alcohol, coffee, dairy, sugar
eat only 2x daily and not before 11:30 /12 midday
stop eating 4hours or more before bed
go to sleep 2hours before midnight
face yoga
eat less processed foods
face yoga/massage with specific oils like nuroli, frankinsence, grapeseed or rosehip
over a few weeks you will see definate changes
I won't tell you not to feel despondent because you can't afford to see a doctor you can't afford. Despondent is a big emotion and it could be that it's not the best idea for you to have major cosmetic surgery. It may be more than the outside that needs to be done. Spending thousands of $$ for cosmetic surgery may not be the answer for you. Just saying...
Thank you Dr.Karam, always the right advice
This great for the people who can afford it. I'm a teacher and will never be able to afford your expertise and mastery. I wish I could. You are truly a master at what you do. Only a dream for me...

Happy and healthy Christmas. I wish you were my brother . ❤ from the U.K.
LOL. Oh my gosh, if Dr. Amir was my brother, I'd be pleading with him night 'n day to do a Vertical Lift on me. 😆
Love your content! All of it makes so much sense. So glad I found your channel. I’m listening to your advice and focusing on skincare more vs. fillers etc….
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching.
Thank God for the new direction.
I'll be 66 next month and have found castor oil and red led to be helpful.
Most people think I'm about 55 and have never had work or botox.
Skincare is essential for youthful appearance.
Thank you for everything you share. Gives me hope that even on my budget, there are things I can do to slow aging. My partner is younger than me, and it weighs on me.
It’s so important to make good decisions- ones that have real benefits. Thanks for sharing
Love this! Thanks, doctor Amir.
Yes please open a door for us that are single, divorced women over 60 that live in the average world have access to these amazing procedures as well. Both health and cosmetic modalities.
Thank you so much for all your information. Hopefully the surgeries can be affordable for everyone and someone doesn’t have to do procedures because they are cheaper and getting a quick fix.
I am so glad that all the celebrities have messed up so bad that we are rejecting this scary path and changing the approaches.
At my gym, all the big lipped and injected girls are making me stand out more. Now, I thank them for making me look good. 🤷🏻♀️
Big Face is the most unattractive.
I think , it's the case of things go down further before they pick up. So the round puffy, ducky, weird puppet looks have led people as future patients to reconsider effects and outcomes of those 'quick fix' techniques since 2000.
The last two years have led to plastic surgeons and to discuss with actual examples of their own work on patients and those of celebrities of what are successful and natural cosmetics procedure and what and why some were not natural, botched or failed. And it opened up conversations about what , and when is right and how much rejuvenation is enough.
And here we are ushering 2025 with more balanced and recalibrated perspectives and better managed expectations.
Thank you all! Doctors, patients and everyone else sharing!
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Oh, i love watching your vids so much! One day we'll see you for sure! What is the waiting time for an appointment in your clinic?👌❤️❤️❤️
Hopefully it will also be more affordable. The reason why a lot of people got fillers was because it was cheaper.
Dear Dr Amir Karam you are the best ❤
I have the same *eudupe* Bastia and Kelly pockets as you do, and I agree that the buttons on the Kelly pockets are too noticeable. I like the Bastia and Calvi because they are flatter and not "crowded"!
If this is the future I’m with it! I like this direction
What a great video doctor! Thank you so much, happy new year everyone! 💕
Thank you for watching!
I could listen to you all day everyday! I certainly trust what you are recommending as in educating myself on as much TRUE information as possible. I would love for you to carry out my surgery, however I am here in beautiful New Zealand many miles from you and your clinic.
My question, if I may........Can you recommend a surgeon or do you know of a surgeon with the same thoughts as yourself? Keep up the wonderful work you do.
I love this doctor. He’s awesome.
I am rich in melanin and require nothing , I am thankful.
Dr. Karam, Please do a video on how a face lift "ages". Your work is great but what about the decades after the face lift?
Will do.
I stopped doing filler years ago and just do lasers and skin skin care
What lasers do you go with? So many options, and i don't know which are which. Co2, BBL, Forever young, halo, etc. The med spas and plastic surgery place both sell different ones at different prices and I don't know which one is best, without too much pain 😅
@ I’ve done the CO2 RF x2 IPL several times over the years Laser Genesis , trilift x 3. I found the microneedling RF works really good. I’m trying the Helix laser in a few months. It’s supposed to to be really good for texture discoloration and tightening ..
@@kimking4224 Thank u. Pain level on these, comparatively?
@@soulinameatsack29 the IPL was the worst for me . The RF microneedling is painful but the CO2 wasn’t. They do numb you for everything
@@kimking4224my understanding is that the radio frequency has now been found to put heat under the skin which depletes collagen in the long term, so adding the RF may over time be counter productive to the action of the microneedling. I’ve listened to a couple of dermatologists recently saying to be careful when it comes to putting intense heat into the skin.
Hi Dr Karam Today Lunch Oh So Good Beautiful Sunny Day From MiAe!!LOVE
I have had rhinoplasty for a terrible “ hump” on my nose, I thought. But I found out after the surgery no one seemed to even notice. My daughter had the same type of nose and didn’t like it and chose to have rhinoplasty and I made sure she remembered that you do that surgery for YOU only. I was so disappointed when my rhinoplasty didn’t turn me into the most attractive person ever!( that’s an exaggeration, but just proving a point )
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤ for all this information
It was my pleasure!
I love you videos. They are so informative.
Praise God!🙌🏻
Now praying for only Dr. Karim to touch my face.🙏🏻😅
You can see the extra fullness still in Dr Karam's face and lips
Yea! Would love to know what work he has done! Looks so young
Love all your videos
Excellent!! I always thought that the natural look was always the best according to my own aesthetic sensibilities.
I totally agree!
Hey Doc, can you do a vid on preventative treatment for Black skin or multi cultural skin? From the correct lasers to prevent wrinkles/sagging, topicals etc...Thank you!
When patients can't afford getting fillers or procedures with more expensive surgeon, they get it done with someone who they can afford and it doesn't always come out right.
The best part: “ without scaring your family members” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, your work is amazing, your patients still LOOK LIKE THEMSELVES, only Well Rested, Refreshed, like they were on a long vacation in the Swiss Alps! They have a Glow in their Eyes.
That’s the goal. That’s what people want and that’s the direction our industry needs to go in… I am glad you agree
@@dramirkaram Thank you for the work you're doing, especially the education part. Happy New Year to you, and your Beautiful Wife.
Glass cupping and Dermarollers work!
Truly love the information you provide. Wish I lived closer. I am using your vit c product and love it.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad you're loving the Quench!
I absolutely love what you do, how you say you go about the aging process. Unfortunately this is not affordable. For most a facelift with a reputable surgeon is just not obtainable. Lets face it loans are not the answer. Financing is limited, with limited payback time. If you cannot afford this procedure one should not put themselves into debt. Therefore, it is my belief that many the cheaper alternatives (facial fillers...)
While surgery may not be an option for everyone, maintaining a consistent, comprehensive, and effective skincare routine is something anyone can do. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, this approach can go a long way in supporting your skin’s health and appearance.
I’m sorry, but Gwen Stefani shouldnt be used as an example of good work done because she looks extremely alien and overdone. The others ladies however, fantastic work done!!! They literally looked like they slept well and paused their clock from 15 years ago.
Gwen Stefani looks great!
Thank you Dr. Karam!
You're most welcome!
I wish you would have mentioned PRP and Microneedling as treatments that are here to stay as well, boosting the collagen production! And of course more awareness of the importance of sunscreen and good nutrition!
He did mention that he thinks microneedling is a waste.
I have done so many video on that. Not prp per se but microneedling.. it’s a nice procedure and totally harmless. I am definitely a fan. It isn’t a replacement for solid daily skincare and sunscreen but a nice addition.
I was referring to RadioFrequency Microneedling
I’m consistent with skin care routine and recently integrated LED mask, microneedling, and RF at home beauty device. I would certainly see you if I could have it in my budget. You do beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing!!
Gwen Stefani? She looks like a blow up doll and nothing like her original self!
Agree...her lips are way overfilled.
I agree she looks nothing like herself. The look she has now is pretty, but looks nothing like herself.
She looks amazing
@@shayxtremeI dont think she looks bad either.
I agree. She was so pretty and now looks like some Barbie doll and fake as hell. She is as close to 60 as she is 50 and looks like a doll, I agree. People says she looks amazing. She looks like someone else. So weird. Makes me think she has some mental issues!
LOVE THIS! yes EXACTLY RIGHT. ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Love you Doctor ! ❤
Great and balanced perspective 🎉
Great video, loved it!!!!! Such great info 😊😊😊😊
Glad you liked it!!
this is remarkable work Doctor !
When will we finally see a gel that contains verteporfin? It could help to avoid scars during the healing process. It would revolutionize your trade.
It's beyond me why a discovery that was made more than 5 years ago still hasn't resulted in a product that surgeons can use.
Could you do a video of what procedures or treatments you think people such as Lindsay Lohan , Demi ect have had done?
Temporary fixes are a BIG NO!! The video was very informative. Peoples need to address their issue according to this explication. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well said!
Excellent information! And very exciting.. we want to look better, not different. Thank you doctor.
Thank you Dr. Karam . Been so open about all products and differences in collegian and good collegians . I go to Korea two to three times a year. And I’m so ready at my age to work on ny skin , volume and shape as you spoke of . I have always tried to take care of my skin since my teens , I learned alot from my grandmother ect . Who had beautiful skin til the day she went to heaven . However under the knife I have not yet but I have done the Botox but with t my age I see shape of my face is now changing I’m aging and my eyes by brows sagging . My chin has wrinkles , I have flown for the airlines almost 40 years and I wonder what is the best way to help chin , neck , eyes but I am not into the thread those I know who have done this in the USA or in Korea it looks so painful the day after and they go back over and over every
5 months and I don’t want to do that . I am consistent in good health care for my skin & I do love products from Korea but still I know I need to do this revival you do . I had ultra therapy in Spain two years ago but it was painful , I don’t wanna keep doing procedures every 6 months . I have never done strings and never will .
Thank you for educating me on skin ,and reality of what is needed bc I only wanna look natural not like a mannikin in photos or in person .
Ty✨💫
You recently said on a recent video the micro needing was good and even with radio frequency as long as needles are not over 1mm
Hmmm I am very interested in these procedures, but I can only (possibly) afford this once- I’m 43 and just recently am seeing that I am truly aging! 🙈
Ive always looked so young and never had any procedures of any type done.
But the volume loss is so crazy… my face feels like it’s someone else’s FROM the aging; I love the idea of looking like myself again🥰
